Umas dessas "hidden gems" da cidade…read more O restaurante é pequeníssimo, as mesas muito próximas, e pode ser barulhento, mas é aconchegante e cheio de charme, com mesinhas na calçada. O importante aqui é a comida. Os pratos tradicionais italianos, tipo Carbonara, Caccio e Pepe sao servidos com pequeno twists que fazem diferença. Tudo é fresquinho e saboroso , fatto a casa. O serviço/service é excelente e mega profissional. Os garçons conhecem tudo e até mesmo o que o chefe diria. Das minhas vindas, notei que não há consistência de sabores. Hoje, por exemplo, a salada de pêra com amêndoas que amei da última vez, veio com a fruta verde e sem sabor. O incriável Caccio e pepe com raspas de limão e bottarga estava salgado demais (veja que minha filha pediu o mesmo prato mas sem a bottarga, e estava salgado também) . Pedi um vinho por taça e apenas tinham um pinot griggio, picante nada esplendoroso, mas que combinou muito bem coma salada de pera. Apresenta um amargor que me surpreendeu junto a Bottarga. O que confirma que um vinho pode melhorar (piorar ) muito com a comida que o acompanha.

For a place called "just shots" this place has darned good food. I'm back a second time and the…read morefood has been really impressive considering that it's owned by the same people who run my least favorite bar in the neighborhood (vaca veia located kitty corner from this place). We've had the giant (seriously it could serve a family) buratta, the asparagus risotto, Greek salad and moussaka. Every dish was delicious and pleasantly not greasy. The drinks are obviously well crafted and focused on shots. The main barman used to be my favorite bartender at le maison est tombee and he seems to be killing it here as well. Overall a great place to cram into a booth with a group of friends for a great evening after work or for a mellow weekend night.

I loved the concept of this store - a wine shop that lets you hang out and enjoy a glass or a…read morebottle before, during or after picking out your bottles. The store is organized by region with the largest variety coming from Spain, Chile and Argentina. Clearly the management likes Spanish wines best. They give courses here and do events, though I've never been and can't really comment. I have some issues with the execution. This is Brazil, so obviously it gets crazy hot. This store is all open air, so it seems your carefully created bottles are not being kept climate controlled. I guess this probably also happens when you transport wine in this country, but most wine shops here are kept at a more palatable temperature. They have only a few bottles kept in the fridge at the appropriate temperature for drinking, and none of them were white wine which is usually what I prefer for an afternoon sip. They also offer glasses of wine, but they didn't seem to have marked the bottle with the open date nor did they use one of the corks that removes air from the bottle to keep from over oxidizing (typical problem here). Having given the shop a once over, I asked the clerk if they had any Spanish Tempranillo, nope and no suggestions for a similar bottle. I ended up with a Verdejo which I found myself no thanks to her. They seriously need to step up their wine game here. I would not pay for classes from them though it could be a fun place to come with friends especially while waiting for a table at Naga or Nakka. The cheapest wine bottle I saw was R$72 but most were around R$150. Not cheap unless you are thinking in current exchange rate terms. The place is still under a year old so hopefully they improve their selection and step up their training.

The atmosphere is charming and it's located in a nice, safe neighborhood close to nice hotels. But why the mediocre rating? The service was terrible! From the moment I got there, I had to wait to be seated. A scowling young woman who didn't bother to say good evening and seemed annoyed that it was only a party of one, to the waiter who barely crossed to words with me other than to acknowledge my order and recommend a wine (which he got wrong the first time, although when he got me request for a red it truly was an excellent choice) were just one of the negatives. Then when it came time to leave, it was another long wait until what appeared to be the owner or head waiter finally requested my check, which also brought another set of eye rolls when I asked for separate checks for food and wine. Why I annoyed them I don't know. I was in a business suit, having gone there straight from a series of business meetings. Was it that I wasn't a native Portuguese speaker? Well, SP is an international city. Overall, I was made to feel very uncomfortable and as much as I enjoyed the meal, wine and atmosphere, I will not go back or recommend it. It was simply an unpleasant experience.

I fully appreciated the blanket and heaters that were brought over as it was a chilly evening, yet we were still "indoors" but not. Service was impeccable, with every member of the staff ensuring our experience was top notch and food met our expectations. I chose the slowly roasted beef ribs rice and was not expecting savory goodness that arrived! The beef ribs melted in my mouth and the rice was so incredibly flavorful - I would order this over and over again! Of all the restaurants I've been to, Figueira Rubaiyat has by far the one of the most extensive wine list I've seen, featuring many different wines from around the world, including Brazil of course! There is also a gift shop that should not be missed because of the very unique items that are found here - and a place I'll need to visit next time I'm in the area again! The entire experience is one that should not be missed. Every detail and every bite was absolute perfection!

Their famed "baby beef" was amazingly tender and flavorful. All sides were delectable and their service is always top notch. While considered very expensive from a local perspective, A Figueira Rubaiyat offers great value for those coming from abroad and thinking in dollar terms. We paid roughly $75 per person (R$ 360 in local currency, no alcohol, no dessert, only water, bread service, one entrée, and one side). You can't go wrong with A Figueira Rubaiyat!
